Add to that: if the punter sees an opening, he can run for the first down ...

And I have just the guy to do it for you. His name is Damien Traille and he just played for France in the Rugby World Cup. Has a kick like a mule and is a great runner with the ball. I wonder if a football punter's salary would be enough to tempt him ...
